Almost everything about this book is fucking fantastic. Other than a couple areas where the narrative became difficult to follow, the writing is phenomenal. Sebela continues to impress and Welcome Back shows that he's only improving his craft. If that's not enough Sawyer's art is by far some of the best, I've seen recently. There is a lot left in this story and it would be a mistake to not join the ride. I know I am on board and more than ready to see where they take us. When you hit the shop this week make sure to grab a copy and one for a friend. If you don't have friends like Mali and myself, get one for your dog. Dogs enjoy good comics too.

The Copperhead team continues to create a story that after the smoke clears and the tumble weeds roll, stands unharmed with a glance to readers that has Clint Eastwood shaking in his boots. There are tough questions, difficult decisions and lots of gunfire. Clara is an exceptional protagonist, but there other characters equally as interesting. Copperhead #9 is a must buy and if you haven't picked up the first 8 you might as well save yourself the extra trip. Next month Copperhead #10 seals the end of another arc and I can't wait.

When it all comes to an end, Hit: 1957 couldn't produce. It is sad for me to say because I was really impressed with this series at the beginning. It started with intricate characters and a hard hitting story, it ended with a lame attempt to tie loose ends. It must kept in mind that this series was very short, being only four issues, but that is no excuse for a story that had so much potential. I've seen many limited series do the exact same thing, and it's a huge disappointment. If you enjoyed the first three issues like I did, I still wouldn't justify picking this up.

Invader Zim may have found a new platform to grow. I can't think of a better way to keep such an eccentric show alive. It never occurred to me before its publishing, Invader Zim would be a great addition to the comic world. Invader Zim #1 shows the potential. For new readers and longtime fans, this comics is worth a pick up. While you're at it, make sure to pull those old episodes out of the vault. Even Zim enjoys binge watching, as long as it doesn't distract him from world domination.

The Tomorrows is a great attempt at a concept on the rise. We see more areas of our culture delving into the ideas, most recently apparent in art. However, there needs to be more fresh, unique approaches. The Tomorrows did not bring much of anything new to the table. Much of the praise goes to the team's effort to further the conversation in comics. When it comes down to picking it up off the racks, you might just want to stick to philosophy section in the library.

Humor is definitely the strength of this comic, but the writing seems to overlook some of the important narrative to keep readers involved. McCrea's designs for the monsters are eccentric and keep the comic fresh. I was really stoked on the first issue and that carried over to the second. Unfortunately, I can't say the same this time around. Mythic #2 kept me laughing, but left me with nothing more.

After closing the issue I looked around for the next one and of course I had to deal with the reality of waiting another month. There's everything to like about Usagi in this issue. This issue was more about building the action than really making moves, but there was still an exciting fight scene and plenty of plotting. If you're a Usagi fan it's a must. If not, you should really start reading Usagi. Usagi appreciation aside, it's a fun comic and if you're not a regular reader it is worth it to check out.

Faeber has kept the writing strong and captivating in this second story arc and it looks like the team isn't slowing down. Even when the plot slows down Faeber brings you in with amazing characters. Godlewski is right behind with gnarly action scenes. Copperhead is remains on my pull list and won't being going anywhere soon.

Hit: 1957 was originally a random pick up one late Wednesday afternoon. It was a noir comic with a rad cover. Need I justify my purchase anymore? Lame anecdotes aside, this comic surprised me. Being the third of four issues, I'm still along for the ride. The story is full of characters with not so easy decisions. We have a cop trying to save a girl from his past, resurrecting demons that he tried to bury. His partner doing his best to bury his demons and keep his moral compass aligned. Finally, a bad-ass damsel in distress, taking matters into her own hands and not waiting around for someone to save her. There's much to love in this comic and very little to hate. Each member of the team reflects and supports the others ability, and that's what makes this medium so great. Check this comic out and if we are lucky there may be more to come.
